Heat transfer and fiuid fiow were studied in a new type of high pressure tubular reactor, which utilizes a machined helix between the liner and body for passage of a heating or cooling fiuid. Heat transfer rates for the reactor are very high. Over-all heat transfer coefficients based on the i-nside area of the reactor were as high as 540 Wu/(hr) (sq. ft.)( deg F) for condensation of steam by water. The friction loss for flow through the helix is higher than for straight pipe, because of secondary flow. Pressure drop data indicate that in laminar flow, the friction factor for the coil can be calculated by Prandtl's equation for coiled pipe. (auth)
